SYRIA’S evil dictator Bashar al-Assad has been accused of using the banned and lethal substance Napalm on his own people – creating conditions described as “hell on earth”.

The White Helmets volunteers recorded the moment missiles, which they believed were filled with the highly flammable liquid, blitzed the rebel-held town of Hamouria within the besieged eastern Ghouta region.

The UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons banned the use of Napalm against civilians in 1980, after it became a harrowing symbol of the Vietnam War.

In a strongly worded statement expressing its anger at the bombing of eastern Ghouta, the bloc said: “The European Union is running out of words to describe the horror being experienced by the people of eastern Ghouta.

“Unhindered humanitarian access and the protection of civilians is a moral duty and a matter of urgency… the fighting must stop now.”

The UN has called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent a “massacre” in the area, where 400,000 people have been under siege since 2013.

Several previous ceasefire attempts in Syria have quickly unravelled throughout the multi-sided conflict, which has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced 11 million people.
